Does it sound like a timeout issue? What kind of Oracle error are they
getting?

I failed to explicitly state that these issues are with allegedly LOSING

the connection, not with making them, but thank you for those ideas. I
know listener logs every connection made. Speaking of which, is there a
simple way to trim the listener log in Windows? Normally you can rename
some of them, but a few seem to always be locked by the process. Here I
am derailing my own topic. ;)

I also know it is a possibility that the database could be hung up, but
the problems normally last for a couple minutes and aren't plant-wide
unless the database really is down.
